The best Christmas gifts under $100
Check out these gift ideas from Lululemon, Amazon and more.
For the kid ready for a first tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is an affordable tablet option for kids. This tablet offers an 8.7-inch touchscreen display and a battery life of up to 10 hours. It runs the Android 11 operating system and offers full access to the Google Play Store, where many optional apps are available.
If you're giving this tablet to a child, we highly recommend subscribing to the optional Samsung Kids service. This is a subscription-based, safe environment for a child to explore and connect with the world. It includes unlimited access to family-friendly activities designed to entertain and educate. The subscription cost is $8 per month or $60 per year.
Why we like this tablet:
The tablet offers a 8.7-inch WXGA+ touchscreen display with 1,340 x 800 pixel resolution. The tablet is housed in a metal frame, which makes it a bit more durable than most tablets, especially if an optional screen-protection film is added.
For the host: Our Place party coupes (set of 4)
If they've broken one too many wine glasses, restock their kitchen with these new party coupes from Our Place. They come in a set of four. Choose between three colorways.
These colorful, petite glasses work for wine, cocktails or even desserts. They're stackable, so they're an ideal gift for those with a small kitchen.
Why we like these coupes:
These glasses make for both a useful and adorable gift. And it doesn't hurt that Our Place is a trendy brand.
For the STEM kid: National Geographic magnetic marble run
This STEM toy intended for ages 10 to adult involves building a marble racetrack. This National Geographic set comes with a motorized marble lift, 70 tracks and connectors, 32 trick pieces, 25 marbles and more.
They can build their maze on places ranging from a fridge to a whiteboard with this toy.
"I thought this purchase would keep my 9-year-old entertained for an hour," an Amazon reviewer says, "so I was a little skeptical with the price point, but to my pleasant surprise, he spent a day assembling it on the side of the refrigerator and then days after that perfecting it, then days after that changing the course.
"It's been three weeks and he still walks by and drops a marble down the course and tweaks it a bit. I'd say he still spends about 45 minutes a day playing with it. Well worth it!"
Why we like this toy:
This STEM toy will spark imagination and encourage learning -- maybe for longer than you think. It's also a stimulating alternative to screen time.
For the kid who believes in magic: Magic Mixies magic genie lamp
Find a plush toy that makes more than 60 sounds and reactions in this genie lamp. Just rub the lamp to "create" a genie. There's also a magic ring in the lamp that reacts with the Magic Mixie plush inside.
Choose from three colors in this magical toy for ages 5 and up. It's currently $48, reduced from $65.
Why we like this toy:
The exact look of each toy remains a mystery until it's "created." Sounds, smoke and lights, plus an intricate "genie" creation process, takes the toy-surprise trend to the next level.
For the reader: Amazon Fire 7 tablet
Features of the perfectly giftable Amazon Fire 7 tablet include a 7-inch touchscreen, 10-hour battery life and 16GB of internal storage. This is the ad-free version of the tablet, which we think makes a much better gift than the ad-supported one ($15 cheaper).
For $95, you can upgrade the tablet to include 32GB of internal storage. Both versions are available in black, blue or rose. These tablets are great for anyone who needs basic functionality, like being able to stream music or video, check email or do their online shopping. But by inserting an optional microSD memory card, you can also boost internal storage up to 1TB.
Why we like the Amazon Fire 7 tablet:
It offers a compact and lightweight design, so it's comfortable to hold for extended periods while reading an e-book. You can expand the capabilities of the tablet by adding optional apps from Amazon's app store. Its internal storage is expandable up to 1TB, which is enough space to store multiple full-length movies, in addition to a wide range of other content.
